India most important partner in Asia: US.
Press Trust of India | Updated: May 11, 2013 17:52 IST

Washington: There is no partner as important for the United States in Asia as India and the growing convergence of interests and outlook has brought about unprecedented cooperation between the two nations on regional and global security, a top US official has said.

"President Obama has called our partnership with India a 'defining partnership for the 21st century'. And as we go about the much-talked about 'Asia rebalance', there's no more important a partner for the United States in the region than India," said assistant secretary of state Robert Blake, during a talk at Boston University's India Symposium.

"The growing convergence of our interests and outlook has brought about unprecedented cooperation on regional and global security, economics and trade, education, science and technology, clean energy, health, and counter-terrorism," he said.

Mr Blake said the governments of the two nations have worked hard, especially in the last decade, to broaden and deepen this cooperation.

He said the US is preparing for the fourth round of the Strategic Dialogue, which will be held in New Delhi next month.

"Secretary Kerry will lead our delegation - his first such dialogue with a major partner. And higher education will be a major focus: we will hold our Higher Education Dialogue together with the Strategic Dialogue, a clear demonstration of the growing importance of education and people-to-people ties to our bilateral relationship," he said.

Minister for Human Resources Development Pallam Raju will visit Washington next week to lay the groundwork to further India-US cooperation on expanding educational exchanges and partnerships.

"We will work together to help India achieve its ambitious goal to establish 200 community colleges; build the next cadre of America's India experts; and increase access to higher education through innovative use of technology," Mr Blake said.

"The commitment by both governments to emphasise higher education collaboration underscores our shared belief that education is the lynchpin of the entrepreneurship and innovation that will drive our knowledge economies and growth and help us meet new challenges," he said.

India and America are strategic partners,

in common man language it means , "the enemy of my enemy is my friend".Period.

Being a democratically elected leadership in India ,it is important for America to oil all cogs in the machine.

This will be a multi page troll thread. You can see it coming.

Of course India is an important partner of US. And this relationship is for the benefit of both country and people. Especially enhancing high level education system in India.

Please don't go beyond what the article has stated.

India will never allow any foreign military base on its soil.

Many Indians in here are already discussing that possibility. If China keep on pushing India, Then India would have no choice but allow US to protect India.

yes, but the best security is still for US to have a military presence in India. Nothing else can be more certain and effective.
